Thomas Rhett Booked for ‘SNL’, Promises to Perform New Music

Thomas Rhett will be the musical guest on the March 2 episode of Saturday Night Live -- and he'll be performing new music! The country star shared the news on social media on Sunday (Feb. 17).

Rhett's spot as SNL's musical guest was announced late Saturday night (Feb. 16), on Twitter; it will be his first time on the show. The episode during which Rhett will perform will be hosted by comedian and actor John Mulaney, formerly a writer for the late-night TV sketch comedy show.

Rhett himself was the one to sweeten the deal by revealing that he'll be playing new music during his time on Saturday Night Live -- or, more accurately, his daughter Willa Gray was. On Sunday morning, the singer posted a video of his oldest daughter helping her daddy share the big news.
